Clare Castle Country Park Trust

Supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund.

Clare Castle Country Park is a unique destination in West Suffolk featuring remains of a Norman Castle, a disused Railway Station and tranquil open spaces for walks with family and friends. It is a beautiful park which invites you to relax, play, get close to nature and learn about Clare's fascinating history and heritage.

The park contains the remains of the 13th Century stone castle keep set upon its 60ft high motte overlooking the town, as well as its inner and outer baileys which are ideal areas for recreation and picnics. The inner bailey also contains the former railway station which now houses the Platform One Cafe serving hot drinks and food throughout the year.

Away from the open green areas visitors can find the footpaths through the trees and along the banks of the River Stour and along the old railway line. Here can be viewed the variety of trees and plant life, and information boards show the various birds and water life that can be seen along the water's edge.
